There can be a number of reasons why you might not be able to use it after upgrading to the latest version of the operating system. Here are the most common ones:

  • Corrupted Font cache – the font cache might have been infected with a virus or corruption error, causing the font itself to malfunction.
  • Generic inconsistency – your system files might be suffering from an inconsistency or error, causing the system components to act up. In this case, you can try using the built-in troubleshooting utilities to identify and fix the issue.
  • Incorrect font settings – not all font settings are compatible with all operating system versions. If you have attempted to switch to an incompatible or ineligible setting, then resetting it to the default state can help you fix the issue.

2. Run System Scans 

Your system might also be infected with a corruption error that is causing the system components to act up. If this scenario is applicable, then the best way to resolve the problem is by making use of the built-in troubleshooting utilities within the system. 

The two most powerful and efficient utilities that can help you, in this case, are the System File Checker (SFC) and Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM). You can run both utilities using the Command Prompt.

  3. Inside the Command Prompt window, execute the command below.
    sfc /scannow
    Segoe UI Fluent Icon
    Execute the SFC command
  4. Once done, proceed with executing the following command:
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    Execute the DISM command

Wait for the command to execute and check if the issue is resolved.

3. Reset Default Font Settings

In case the problem is arising due to incompatible settings, you can reset the settings and preferences to default to fix the issue.

Here is how you can do that:

  1. Type Control Panel in the search area of the taskbar and click Open.
  2. In the Control Panel window, set the View by category to Large icons.
    Change the View by category to Large icons
  3. Click on Fonts.
